This new photographic series extends 'Cavitation', an inquiry into how systems of orientation falter under pressure, repetition and displacement. Cavitation describes the formation and implosion of bubbles as water moves through changing pressure: an invisible event capable of immense force. Within the project, it becomes a way of thinking about instability, rupture and transformation across bodies, images and oceanic environments.

Made in the service spaces behind an oceanarium's tanks, this work encounters the hidden systems through which an underwater world is sustained, monitored and staged. Pipes, filters, cables and artificial light form an ecology that is neither entirely nature nor infrastructure. Working through glass, water and reflection, I photograph moments when visual coherence begins to falter: acrylic distorts scale, reflections collapse depth, pipes resemble roots, and organisms merge with machinery.

The camera compounds these instabilities, producing partial views, strange doublings, mishaps and misalignments. I'm interested in these disruptions as a way of unsettling images that resist recognition. The series considers the oceanarium as a controlled image of nature whose supporting systems remain concealed, asking how institutional forms of care, containment and display shape our perception of marine life - and how photography might reveal the pressure held beneath a seamless surface.
